Ever been to LEGOLAND after dark? I have. 😀 Just like last year, the kids, my husband and I were invited to attend one of the Brick-or-Treat Party Nights. During this event, LEGOLAND California celebrates Halloween with the little ones and it’s pretty awesome! Brick-or-Treat Party Nights is a special event that takes place every Saturday leading up to Halloween (the first one was on September 30) and tickets are $49 if purchased online in advance. We went this past Saturday. The event started at 5pm, which means that after an hour or so we were literally walking around in...

Yes, that is me! 😀 Laying in a luxurious spa, surrounded by millions of oxygenated micro bubbles. I’ve had some pretty hectic weeks lately, so this past weekend I decided to treat myself to a treatment in an Oxygen Beauty Spa. I’m sure you’re wondering what this is… Trust me, I did too! I’ll explain in this post. The Oxygen Beauty Spa is a self-contained and eco-friendly spa that you can place inside your home, in your backyard or on your patio. It does not need to be connected to your home’s drainage system. The spa is filled with regular...

Missed me??? I know I missed you! The last couple of weeks have been super hectic. My son started Kindergarten at the very end of August and I think it’s been harder on me than on him. Transitioning to a new school, getting a new routine down, getting up early…it took a little time to adjust to it all, but I can now say that we finally getting a hang of it! And with we, I mean me. LOL! I still can’t believe my baby is in school now. He had been going to preschool for about a year (he...

People often think that in order to quit smoking you simply have to stop doing it. This isn’t the way it works in practice. Cigarettes are a great addiction and it is really easy to relapse. It makes it harder that they are available all over the place. Given how hazardous tobacco and nicotine are to your health and even cigarette smoke can cause issues, it is necessary to approach this with level head. It is high time for you to try something new and this set of tricks may be just the thing you need. 1. Setting up small...

Beards have been in fashion for the last few years. Almost every single one of my cousins and male friends has a beard, especially the ones here in the Netherlands. 🙂 Opinions on facial hair are very divided, to say the least. People who don’t like beards usually say they’re too scruffy and unhygienic, but there are also people who love them because they say they’re masculine and exude confidence. Growing out a beard can dramatically change a guy’s look. Shaving it off can even be more dramatic! Some say that beards make men’s faces look stronger and more masculine,...

In this article, we’re talking beards, not just your average beard, but the Championship League of Beards. Let’s take a gander and look at the Full Beard category in all its glory and see what it takes to grow a beard of champions. 😀 Full Beard Natural For those who love to go au naturel, then this is the beard for you as the rule of thumb, or beard is the more natural the better. The beard can’t be highlighted in any way and must not be curled under the chin at the bottom. No styling aids are allowed so no trimmers,...

Hi everyone! On February 18-19 and 25-26 LEGOLAND California hosted the LEGO Batman Movie Days and my family and I got to attend the activities! We went this past weekend and we had a blast, especially my son, who got to meet his superhero (remember Halloween at LEGOLAND, when he dressed up as Batman?). 😀 During these two weekends, LEGOLAND guests got to meet the LEGO superhero during this celebration of the Warner Bros. Pictures’ feature film, which also includes photo opportunities with the scene-stealing star, a themed scavenger hunt and LEGO Batman-inspired LEGO build activities. We loved it! We...

This year we celebrated Halloween in a big way by starting the celebrations at LEGOLAND California Resort for the Brick-or-Treat party nights, which is the BIGGEST kids’ Halloween celebration here in San Diego! Each year LEGOLAND transforms into a not-too-spooky Halloween party, where families are able to go trick-or-treating throughout the Park. The park is open every Saturday in October and this past Saturday my family and I were there! #BrickorTreat 😀 Besides the LEGO themed (of course!) ‘treat stations’ where kids to trick-or-treat for candy, there was also lots of entertainment, like a Ghost Cruise adventure, a pop-badge challenge...

I haven’t written anything here for a while now and there’s a good reason for it…I had the baby! She was born on Friday 9/9 at the Mary Birch hospital here in San Diego. Her name is Kayla and she’s as healthy and beautiful as can be. I couldn’t be happier! Kayla made a big and quite unexpected entrance into this world, because she wasn’t due until the end of the month. I’d been having painful cramps for a couple of days, but when I went to see my doctor that Wednesday before she was born and he had told...

Hi everyone! I’m here with another baby update! I’m 37 weeks pregnant now, which means that the baby is now full term. She is the size of a winter melon and theoretically I still have less than 3 weeks to go. A little voice inside of me is telling me that she’ll probably show up sooner… Honestly, I’m not quite ready yet, so I hope she’ll stay inside a little bit longer. 😀 These pictures were taken last week when my baby bump was 36 weeks! Also, click here to see pics of my first pregnancy when I was 36...

This past Sunday it was finally the day! The day our baby boy turned 4 years old. Woohoo! I still can’t believe I’m the mom of a 4-year-old. Not that long ago I was holding a tiny, little newborn in my hands…where did the time go? Mason had been looking forward to his birthday for weeks. I’ve literally lost count of the amount of times I had to hear: ‘is it my birthday yet?’ 😀 For his birthday we went to LEGOLAND California Resort in Carlsbad. None of us had ever been there, so this seemed like a great opportunity....

One of our Summer activities has been going to the pool. There are multiple pools at our apartment complex that we’re gladly taking advantage of. Why not, right? My toddler loves to swim! If it were up to him, he would be in the pool literally every single day. And whenever we want to switch it up, there’s always the beach. There are so many nice beaches here in San Diego. It’s been almost a year that we moved (back) from Vegas to California and living by the coast is definitely something I appreciate. 🙂 Being surrounded by water means...
